Step Up To Fodera Boutique Bass Quality
Whenever Victor Wooten takes the stage or steps into the studio, we expect nothing less than world-class musicianship. So it comes as no surprise that Mr. Wooten’s signature Fodera bass is a serious, ultra-premium instrument. Fodera, after all, enjoys a reputation as the Ferrari of boutique basses. The Fodera Yin Yang 4 Standard Purpleheart gives you the superior playability, sonics, and build quality of Victor’s Deluxe model, in a more affordable axe. Premium tonewoods — an alder body with a sumptuous purpleheart top, a 3-piece red hard rock maple neck, and purpleheart fingerboard — combine with EMG P/J pickups and proprietary Fodera/Pope Standard 3-band preamp to deliver sculptable high-fidelity bass tone that will grace any music genre. Bassists at Sweetwater are blown away by the Fodera Yin Yang 4 Standard Purpleheart. We know you will be, too.

Sonic supremacy
Based on Victor Wooten’s signature custom Fodera bass, the Yin Yang Standard Special takes the series to a new level of sonic supremacy. Premium tonewoods are used throughout, including an alder body with a purpleheart top, a hard rock maple neck, and a matching purpleheart fretboard. EMG active P/J pickups deliver premium tone, with versatile sound-shaping provided by the Fodera/Pope Standard 3-band EQ.
Hybrid pickup spacing for punch and warmth
The Fodera Yin Yang Standard Special features a pickup spacing that is in the sweet spot between typical ’60s and ’70s spacing. The neck pickup is positioned optimally to deliver the muscular low-end girth you expect from a vintage P-style split-coil. Dial in the growl with the J-style bridge pickup, which has the perfect amount midrange presence, along with ample warmth and body. This pickup combination is ideal for finding your place in a dense mix and punching through the track.
